upcoming shows information projects
*1999 Santander, Spain.
Based in Munich, Germany.
Carmen Arias’ work is defined by a sculptural approach, often combined with spoken text or performative activations. Her pieces explore the relationship between the city and its users, focusing on specific real-life examples. Questioning the aspect and function of urban landscapes is a recurring motif in her work that she presents through site-specific interventions or by reproducing and dislocating elements of these landscapes into the exhibition space.
Her process involves casting shapes and reinterpreting industrial methods within a more delicate, craft-oriented approach. Concrete, plaster, and ceramics are some of the materials that frequently appear in her sculptural work, making a reference to the casting techniques and architectural constructions that she conceptually thematises.
She holds a degree in Fine Arts from the Universidad Complutense de Madrid and from the Akademie der Bildenden Künste München where she graduated in the sculpture class of Gabriel Kuri.
